I've seen plasma burn-in (see "reason screen savers were invented:") on a $15k plasma TV. I'm not so sure that putting a static image on a plasma screen is anything short of lunacy.
Although in the book they also had a caste system enforced by damaging certain embryos (for those who haven't read the book all of reproduction in civilized society had been taken over by genetic factories of sorts... you had something akin to the Matrix-ish assembly line for human beings) genetically to make them mentally retarded so that thier role as an untouchable in society was not wasted on someone with a higher intellectual potential. And those same boys and girls growing up were taught that sexual experimentation was normal. And those same people had a stupor enhanced by a widely distributed mood-altering drugs.....
omg.. why haven't Republicans banned that book already?
I wish I could get cable. I am one block too far south! DSL is such a hassle. I had DSL through Covad and Internet Express until February. They cut me off because IE and Covad couldn't come to a contract agreement. Where does that leave the people contracted to IE? S.O.L. Now, I have been trying to get DSL with Telocity for the last 2 months. It's been horrible trying to get someone at Telocity that is intelligent enough to tell my why I have to wait another two weeks for them to do something. Supposedly my new DSL is supposed to be up and running within the next day or so. We'll see.
